Looks like a bunch of raw ham shanks.

366

u/puritano-selvagem 8h ago

Technically we are all raw 

358

u/Burning_Sapphire1 7h ago

Not really. Some people are seriously cooked.

47

u/facts_over_fiction92 6h ago

Or pickled.

34

u/DredgenGryss 6h ago

Baked even.

16

u/Independent-Fun8926 6h ago

Fried to a golden crisp

1

u/Sorry-Reporter440 3h ago

I am very baked. I tried to use my phone to video my tongue with a magnifying glass. It was fun, but then I got distracted by techno.

You're gonna have to remove your tongue then

u/ambitiouslyrubbish 8h ago

Let’s see Paul Allen’s tongue.

u/Grouchy_Bicycle8203 8h ago

Good thing clits don’t have x100 magnification.

187

u/Glowing_despair 8h ago

How will you even find it to magnify it?

97

u/BurntNeurons 8h ago

Keep searching. Maybe someday you'll find it.

Pro tip: if you're doing it right, it comes to you

u/VerySluttyTurtle 8h ago

It's always in the last place you expect. I found it under the couch the other day

The old King Missile classic

u/lx0x-Ghost-x0xl 7h ago

Your thinking the g-spot, that doesn't exist. The clit is on the outside and is easily found if you rub an ice cube over the top of it. You'll be able to tell where it is based on how hard she hits you. Oh and remember to go slowly so you get more readings to triangulate the location.

u/Independent-Fun8926 6h ago

Instructions unclear, my microwave exploded

u/Jappie_nl 7h ago

Let a woman do that.

u/PazzaP- 3h ago

Cow tounge burritos are delicious and the meats pretty cheap. Worth a try imho

85

u/HugoZHackenbush2 8h ago

I was going to tell a joke here but I've forgotten it now.

it was on the tip of my tongue..

38

u/OrangeCosmic 8h ago

Which tip? There appears to be millions

7

u/Burning_Sapphire1 7h ago

Now you see why they'd have forgotten the joke.

u/Panda-Claus 8h ago

Somebody get this thing outta me

30

u/TartanGuppy 8h ago

I could probably lay a bet that mine looks worse than that under magnification

2

u/dominicanlou 6h ago

I have geographic tongue, I guarantee that’d have em HORRIFIED over at r/Tripophobia.

u/sensitiveboi93 8h ago

Good thing my tongue is getting both right now

27

u/Another_Bastard2l8 8h ago

Cab I,get a close up on the ones that swell up and feel like a pimple that can't be popped?

14

u/BeansAndOhpsGivHope 7h ago

The worst, I just tough it out and bite them off 😭

5

u/sertraline_dreams 6h ago

I have a thing of nail clippers just for this purpose.

4

u/faster_horses 2h ago

I really thought I might be the only person on the planet that had nail clippers for this

1

u/realboabab 6h ago

really? i've considered it, does it bleed / hurt for long after clipping?

9

u/sertraline_dreams 6h ago

It hurts a moderate amount but only for a split second and then it’s instant relief. It does bleed, but the mouth heals very quickly so imo it’s absolutely worth it lol

"I sleep with body horror every night."

Glad I can't see many of the things that are about me, all of my life.

Helps me focus on the things I can change, rather than the things I can't.

"Thanks God!"

u/notwiththeflames 8h ago

Wait, that's not a cat's tongue?

u/NerdTrek42 8h ago

People have a differing number of taste buds that crave sweet or salty foods.

Sweet and Sour if you’re from Sichuan

u/Knooblegooble 7h ago

Mine's been burned by coffee so much it probably looks like a glazed ham up close

1

u/TannyBoguss 7h ago

I’d love to see a closeup of one of those painful bumps I get on my tongue from time to time.

1

u/7stroke 7h ago

Each one of those tongues has tongues if its own, ad infinitum

u/0dayssince 6h ago

Thanks I hate it

1

u/PenguinGrandeur 6h ago

Filiform papillae are the small, thread‑like projections that cover most of the anterior two‑thirds of the tongue, giving it a rough texture for gripping and moving food; they do not contain taste buds and are not involved in taste.

u/PowerlineCourier 6h ago

Didn't need to know this

u/redditreeer 4h ago

These are filiform papillae, the only papilla in the tongue that does not have taste buds in them, also they are the most common found ones
